Your period is like your own built-in health update.
The colour, texture, and flow of your period can reflect the state of your hormones, circulation, nutrient levels, and organ systems.
Here’s what different types of menstrual blood may indicate — and gentle ways to support your body:
🔴 Bright Red Blood
Generally a sign of healthy circulation and balanced hormones.
➤ Support: Nourishing, regular meals; gentle cardio or Qi Gong; raspberry leaf tea for tone.
🖤 Dark Red or Brown at the Start/End
May reflect Blood stasis or slow uterine shedding.
➤ Support: Warming soups with ginger and cinnamon; castor oil packs; movement like yoga or walking.
🩷 Pale or Watery Blood
Often linked to Blood deficiency or low nutrient reserves.
➤ Support: Iron-rich foods (like slow-cooked lamb with beetroot); goji berry + red date tea; rest and early bedtimes.
🟣 Purple or Clotted Blood
Can signal stagnation, Cold, or inflammation.
➤ Support: Anti-inflammatory foods (e.g. turmeric, leafy greens); abdominal warmth; stress regulation tools like acupuncture or journaling.
Your cycle is a conversation with your body. The more you listen, the more empowered your choices can become.
